It is officially Summer!  Educators, students, and parents have made it through another year of virtual, hybrid, and in-person teaching (social distancing and masked).  Woo! Woo! 

It is the time of year when I’d be attending the International Association for Feminist Economists (IAFFE) annual conference, which is being held in Quito, Ecuador (virtually).  This will be my last year on the Board, so I am honored to have been selected at the opening plenary.  The title of my talk was “Hidden in the Aggregate: Crises and Solutions.”  Below are some of the slides from my presentation.

Sometimes, I feel there is no more to be said about the importance of disaggregating data, but then I’ll hear a statistic that reminds me of all the work to be done.  My presentation yesterday was an opportunity to show the importance of disaggregating data with respect to childcare.
